Lake Placid (pps) With Rachel Kwak, David Chang and Trevor Wold three young luge talents from Hawaii will strengthen the junior squad of the US Luge Association. At altogether twelve junior trials of the Federation these three lugers showed a good performance. “They have a great potential”, Jon Lundin from Lake Placid, press officer within the US Federation, is quoted in the newspaper “The Honululu Advertiser”.
These trials for young talents of the US Luge Association are carried out all over the United States. During these trials Brian Martin, for instance, was discovered. Together with his partner Mark Grimmette, Martin won two Olympic silver medals in the doubles and the overall ranking in the 2002/2003 Viessmann World Luge Cup.
